The Asia Pacific automotive powertrain electronics market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2033. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the presence of a strong automobile network in the region, coupled with rising demand for EV batteries. For instance, it was found that as of 2022 China dominated EV battery production with approximately 70% of all battery cells. Further, a significantly increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) along with the expansion of manufacturing organizations' production volume are also anticipated to boost the market growth during the forecast period.
Furthermore, the Europe automotive powertrain electronics market is also anticipated to display notable market growth by the end of 2033. The growth of the market can be attributed to the highly surging demand for electric vehicles in the region, followed by the stringent laws imposed by the government to accomplish a zero-carbon footprint. For instance, in Norway, electric car sales surpassed nearly 85% in the year 2021. In addition to this, growing investment in research and development activities to manufacture fuel-efficient, low-carbon-releasing powertrains in the coming years.
Schaeffler AG developed high-performance electric motors for commercial vehicles that are more than 97 percent efficient providing a continuous drive power output of up to 300 kW.
